Youth Volunteering and Social Change

Описание: Final session of IAVE's 4-part webinar series, "Youth Volunteering and Social Change: Challenges and Opportunities".

What role can young people play in shaping social change? How can volunteering become a pathway for young people to become development actors? In this webinar, a global panel will explore the role of youth volunteering as it both responds and adds value to social development. This session will draw from some of the insights generated from previous webinars in this series.

About the series:
IAVE continues to have a strategic interest in youth volunteering and the key issues that are challenging young people today. IAVE networks and members continue to place a high priority on their engagement with young people. In listening to these voices IAVE made the decision to consider a further two youth volunteering focused topics. The topics chosen of youth well-being and youth activism have been influenced by experiences recorded during and post the COVID-19 pandemic. There is evidence of an emerging crisis in young people’s well-being particular their mental health. There is also evidence of young people being more interested in unstructured volunteer involvement that is organized and led through informal youth networks focused on issues that young people are passionate about and want to add their voices and actions to bring about positive change.

In continuing to give thought leadership to these topics IAVE is delivering a series of 4 global webinars for 2023 focused on youth volunteering. Attend all 4 sessions to receive a certificate of attendance! Learn more at https://www.iave.org/event/youth-volu...
